The Brownells Magna-tip bits are great. And, they are lifetime warrantied. If you break a bit, or two, or three... call them up and they will send replacements. That really helps in deciding to make the purchase. If you buy the super set, or some others for that matter, the thin bit set is not really needed since all those sizes come in the larger sets anyway.

They also offer grinding stones for custom grinding the bits. Or you can grind them with your own equipment.

Many custom gunsmiths will thumb their nose at the Brownells bits and say that custom ground turn screws are better. That is all fine and well if you are only working on one gun. But if you are working on many, it is great to have the variation in pits to choose from. Even on Parkers, the same screws on different eras of guns can have different sized slots.

Thanks for all the great perspectives. I had a set of Chapman’s but God only knows where they’ve gotten themselves to. I think I’m going with the Brownells this time around.

Well wouldn't it be just like me to go against the grain. I've had both, and prefer the Wheeler set.

Edgar you play outside the ring a lot:rotf:

I had a wheeler set and just got tired of the replaceable bits.

A friend who I talk Colt SAAs with turned me onto Grace USA.

They make fabulous screwdrivers for guns.

They all kinds of different sets. They aren't the cheapest, but I have loved them.

Why, Yes Rich. Yes I do. Never was much of a 'me too'.

I just kinda like the old school wood handles on the grace tools...

I to like Brownell's Magna tips,but before I do any work on a gun I apply PB Blaster lubricant to all the screws and never had a problem removing stuberent screws. J.J.

me either. :whistle:

:bigbye:I chose the Brownells Master Super Set Plus. It’s a little pricey but appears everything is made in the USA.
